| | | Learning outcomes |
- EC
| EC 1: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme has acquired extensive knowledge and an accurate and deep understanding of the living world at the molecular, cellular, functional, organismal, population and ecosystem level. | - EC
| EC 2: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme has insight in the processes that establish the basis of the evolution of life. He or she is able to integrate new knowledge gathered at various biological scales in the theory of evolution. | - EC
| EC 5: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme is able to carefully run experiments and to make observations in which he/she strives for the highest possible accuracy and acts with integrity in his or her observations and measurements. | - EC
| EC 6: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme is able to conduct limited research under supervision: he or she is able to formulate a biological problem, to develop an hypothesis and to plan and execute a research project. To this end, he or she is able to consult and handle scientific sources including those in other languages. | - EC
| EC 7: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme is, under supervision, able to evaluate research methods and interpretations in a critical manner and is able to determine intrinsic uncertainties and limitations. | - EC
| EC 8: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme is able to report and present orally and in writing in Dutch and in English. He or she is able to communicate about his or her field of study both with colleagues and non-colleagues. | - EC
| EC 9: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme is able to plan, monitor, evaluate and if necessary to correct (self management) his or her own learning processes. | - EC
| EC 12: A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology programme has insight into the social relevance of biology, he or she knows the stakeholders in the work field. A graduate of the Bachelor of Biology knows the impact of man on nature, he or she acts as an advocate for the biosphere and respects the principles of sustainability.

The student will acquire knowledge on different concepts and a more profound insight in a number of selected topics related to biodiversity. The complexity of the term biodiversity, how to assess biodiversity (e.g. indices), speciation, links to ecological niches and to societal issues, such as climate change, urbanization and risks of invasive species, are examples of concepts that will be addressed. During several practical exercises and excursions, the student will be familiarized with often less known taxonomical groups.
